• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN077 - Complete allocation plan before you save ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN077 - Complete allocation plan before you save
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you try to save a document or transaction related to cost allocation (such as a cost center plan, internal order plan, or activity allocation) before completing the allocation plan. The system expects that the allocation plan is fully defined and complete before allowing the save operation.
  In other words, the allocation plan is incomplete — some required data or steps in the allocation process have not been finalized. This could be missing distribution percentages, incomplete activity types, or unfinished planning data.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During planning or allocation in Controlling (CO) modules, especially in cost center planning or activity allocation.
  When you attempt to save a plan layout or allocation plan that is partially filled or missing required details.
  In transactions like KP06 (Activity Input), KP26 (Activity Price Planning), or other planning transactions where allocation plans are created.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Complete the Allocation Plan:
  
  Review the allocation plan details.
  Ensure all required fields are filled.
  Make sure all planned values, activity types, and distribution keys are entered.
  Verify that the allocation percentages or quantities sum up correctly (usually 100% or the total planned quantity).
  
  
  
  Check for Missing Data:
  
  Look for any missing cost elements, activity types, or cost centers in the plan.
  Ensure that the plan is consistent and all dependencies are resolved.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Tools:
  
  Use the "Check" or "Validate" functions available in the planning transaction to identify incomplete or inconsistent data.
  Correct any errors or warnings before saving.
  
  
  
  Save After Completion:
  
  Once the allocation plan is complete and consistent, save the document again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This message is a warning (WSTRN), not an error, so it may allow you to save with incomplete data depending on system settings, but it is recommended to complete the plan to avoid inconsistencies.
  The message helps maintain data integrity in cost planning and allocation processes.
  If you frequently encounter this message, consider reviewing your planning process or training users on the correct sequence of steps.
  In some cases, customizing settings in transaction OKKP (Cost Center Planning) or related planning profiles might influence the strictness of checks.
